Ive took my car to alhambra dealer for a recall and before I did i scared my car with the obd2 to make sure everything was okay witch it scanned no check engine and all green check lights IM REDINESS.. AFTER I PICKED UP MY CAR FROM THE DEALER I TOOK THE CAR HOME AND PARKED IT FOR A WHOLE DAY. THE NEXT DAY MY CAR STARTS THROWING CODES AND NOW MY CAR WONT PASS SMOG BECAUSE THEE DEALER RUINNED MY CAR.
The vehicle just slows down and will not go while driving it. This could cause wrecks while driving and car just slows down and won't go. This has a cvt transmission that needs to be recalled. Nissan dealers and other automotive shops have said the cvt transmission in Nissans need to be recalled.
2016 NISSAN SENTRA. When accelerating from red light on major multi lane highway, vehicle lost ability to accelerate and stalled in the middle of the road, brake pedal was difficult to press to stop vehicle rolling, and all vehicle dash lights illuminated. The vehicle was put into neutral and pushed across multiple lanes to the side of the highway. The vehicle was then towed to a Nissan dealership in the area. We were told that the fuel pump needed to be replaced at a cost of $1400. Mileage at time of failure was 51,573. Dealership said the fuel pump should last 100,000 miles.
When trying to accelerate, the car begin shudders and then couldn't jerks. The RPM fluctuates and jumps spastically and today, I couldn't accelerate at all and lost power completely after trying to accelerate at a green light. Car also slowed itself down on the interstate while traveling at 70 mph for a month straight and then would stall again about 15 minutes later going 15 mph in a parking lot. Checked the code the check engine light gave about an over retarded cam shaft sensor, replaced it, and am still having the same issue.
As my vehicle was exiting a major highway, the vehicle began to shake and putter. I was able to put my vehicle in park within 1 minute of this puttering. Once in park, the vehicle began to shake more rapidly and louder. I assumed something terrible was going to happen and shut the car off. After an hour and a half, I started the vehicle back up and not to my surprise experienced the puttering and shaking once again. I put the vehicle in drive and began to slowly step on the gas while turning into the road and the car shut completely off and slid back toward the curb with the engine light on and battery. I had to call AAA to have me towed home and on their arrival, they were able to back the vehicle up and forward as long as he pushed down full throttle. The...
my fuel pump went out
VEHICLE STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH RPMS GOING UP, BUT LOSING POWER, JERKING, AND THEN ON 01-14-21 IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A STREET INTERSECTION AND I ALMOST GOT T-BONED. I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THEY WOULD REVIEW THE WARRANTY ISSUE IF IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SUED FOR. THE MILEAGE WAS 108,000 WHEN IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER BECAUSE I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACED FOR JUST UNDER $4000. CALLED NISSAN CORP BACK WHO SENT THE INFO UP FOR REVIEW. ON 01-19-21 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM COLLEEN WHO STATED SHE IS THE DISTRICT MANAGER AND THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY 'HAVE FULFILLED THEIR OBLIGATION'. EACH QUESTION WAS ANSWERED WITH THE SAME VERBATIM RESPONSE. I ASKED TO HAVE THE CASE BE ESCALATED ABOVE...
MY CAR HAS 92,000 MILES. AS OF 3 DAYS IT'S BEEN ACTING UP I WENT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. THAT IT WASN'T SENDING ENOUGH SIGNAL TO THE ENGINE TO HAVE MY CAR RUN. WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS IT GOES AROUND 10MPH BUT 2 DAYS AGO IT COMPLETELY STOPPED. AND I GOT A LETTER ON THE MAIL A WHILE BACK THAT IT HAD A RECALL
MY 2016 NISSAN SENTRA HAS ALWAYS SKIPPED SOME, ACTED LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO, BUT THE OTHER DAY, WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS, IT WOULDN'T GO. THIS WAS AS I WAS RIDING DOWN THE ROAD. AT TIMES, THE GAS PEDAL WOULD ACCELERATE SOME, BUT THEN THE CAR WOULD START JERKING. TO MAKE IT HOME, I HAD TO ACCELERATE, COAST, TRY THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN, AND COAST SOME MORE. NO ENGINE, OR WARNING LIGHTS EVER CAME UP ON THE DASH.
CAR CVT TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND SHUDDERING WHILE IN MOTION ALSO STAHLING WHILE ENTERING FREEWAY, CROSSING INTERSECTIONS, AND WHILE TURNING.
CAR NOT EVEN 24 HOURS OLD, THE CAR WOULD NOT START WITH PUSHING THE STARTER BUTTON, THE RMP WOULD BE AT 3 AT IDLEING. MARCH 2019, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND WENT TO THE DEALER. SENSOR IN FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED, FEW WEEKS POWER TRAIN PROBLEMS. IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION OF ROUTE 45 IN GREYS LAKE, IL. THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND ALMOST DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. SHUT THE CAR OFF, THE CAR WOULD RUN NORMAL FOR AWHILE, THEN THE SHIFTING GEARS AND BOGGING WOULD START ALL OVER AGAIN. A WEEK LATTER THE ENGINE IS MAKING A WHINNING NOISE.
I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2016 WITH ONLY 10 MILES ON IT FROM ME DRIVING OFF WITH IT. I'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE. IVE HAD MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED WHICH THEY DIDN'T WANT TO REPLACE DUE TO LOW NOISES IT MADE IF I DROVE OVER 10 MPH. THEY REFUSED TO FIX MY CAR FOR THREE MONTHS BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULDN'T CUT ON FROM THE NOISES IT MADE. NOW MY CAR CRANKS BUT DOESN'T START. ALL MAINTENANCE IS UP TO DATE AND MY CAR HAS 55,000 EVEN TODAY! THE BATTERY IS NOW AND CHARGED. ALL CABLES ARE TIGHT. I HAVE TO GET IT TOWED TO NISSAN TO HAVE IT INSPECTED.
ON A RECENT TRIP I NOTICED A SURGE IN RPM'S ON THE CAR. ON CRUISE AT 70 MPH THE RPM WOULD BE AROUND 20,000. IT SURGES TO 35,000 OR HIGHER. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE AND AT LOWER SPEEDS NOW.
WHEN I DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY I LOSE POWER, THE RPM' S JUMP AROUND AND THE CAR LOSES SPEED. LIKE THE CAR IS NOT SHIFTING GEARS OR IS HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING THE RIGHT GEAR GIVEN THE SPEED
THE TRANMISSON NOT ENOUGH POWER AND SEEMS TO ME NOT GOOD GAS BECAUSE THE NOT CORRECTLY ON CITY AND HIGHWAY.. NEED IMPROVE.
TAKATA PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF LIGHT SOMETIMES COMES ON WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER OF WEIGHT WHERE IT SHOULD NOT BE OFF. THE CAR ALSO SOMETIMES FEELS AS IF IT'S LOSING POWER ALMOST JERKS SOME WHEN STOPPED & YOU PRESS THE GAS ESPECIALLY IF HEAT OR AIR IS ON
I WILL DO MY UTMOST TO DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM THAT I AM ENCOUNTERING WITH MY 2016 NISSAN SENTRA... WHEN I FIRST TAKE-OFF IT BEGAN TO STALL AND SOON IT INCREASE SPEED AND I HARDLY HAVE MY FEET ON THE ACCELERATOR AND I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY ALSO OTHER PEOPLE THAT I TRANSPORT INTO MY VEHICLE...DEFINITELY WHILE MAKING TURNS ON CITY STREET AND HIGHWAYS AND THERE IS AN INDESCRIBABLE STRANGE SOUND THAT THE CAR IS MAKING IT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE PASSAGE SIDE...THIS PARTICULAR CAR IS SUPPOSE TO BE A GAS SAVER, BUT IS BURNING A RIGHT AMOUNT OF FUEL...THERE IS MORE PROBLEMS THAT CONCERN, HOWEVER I AM BEING TOLD NOT TO INCLUDE ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION INTO MY COMPLAINT.
